Creative Kernow Associates and Krowji invite applications for two pilot project spaces in Redruth for artists and creatives seeking somewhere to develop a project outside their usual working environment.
Deadline: 11.59pm, Sunday 25th May 2025
About Krowji
Krowji is Cornwall’s largest creative hub, providing studio space to a vibrant community of artists and makers in Redruth. This project space offers a unique opportunity to work in a professional studio environment and engage with the Krowji community, including the chance to take part in its Summer Showcase.
About Krowji’s Summer Showcase
The Krowji Summer Showcase is a brand new annual event which will celebrate the rich variety of disciplines, businesses, and creative practices that thrive within the Krowji community.
In addition to those participating in the well-loved open studios format, the weekend will also have a vibrant and varied programme including feature film screenings, workshops, and performances.
What does this opportunity offer?
• Two weeks use of a 530sq ft space at Krowji with 24/7 access (choose between two slots: 23rd June to 4th July 2025 or 7th July to 18th July 2025)
• Use of the space during the Krowji Summer Showcase (25th – 27th July) for an event of your choosing (e.g. exhibition/open studio/workshop/performance) – please note this will be shared with the other project space recipient
Project Space dates
Choose one:
• 23rd June – 4th July 2025
• 7th July – 18th July 2025
Who is it for?
This project space is aimed at artists and creatives:
• From any discipline (within Krowji Tenant H&S Rules & Regulations 2022)
• Who have a specific project that would benefit from time and space away from their usual workspace
• Interested in showing work at Krowji’s Summer Showcase
Applications are open to individuals and groups – collaborations are welcome.
Selection criteria
Applications will be reviewed by a panel from CKA and Krowji.
Selection will be based on:
• How the space will benefit you and your practice at this moment
• How you intend to use the opportunity of the Krowji Summer Showcase and what it will bring to the Krowji community
Practical information
• Applicants must be CKA members.
• Beyond the CKA membership fee, there is no cost to take part in this opportunity.
• Krowji tenants may apply (please note – you cannot transfer the free period to your own studio, you must use the project space in addition to your current studio).
• What you do during the two weeks does not necessarily need to be linked to what you do at the showcase.
• You do not need to be present every day of the project space period, nor the summer showcase.
• Krowji features an onsite café and access to washroom and tearooms.
• The space can be equipped with tables and chairs or left empty. There is Wi-Fi in the room, as well as access to plug sockets.
• Your work can be shared on the Krowji/CKA platforms whilst taking part in this opportunity.
• The project space is on the second floor of the Percy Williams building which has a passenger lift to each level, disabled access WCs on each floor, and a level-access wet-room/shower on the first floor for use by all tenants.
• The selected applicant will be given a Krowji site induction by Krowji staff before being given keys.
• We will aim to inform all applicants of the outcome within two weeks of the deadline.
